STEVEN CALABRESI: Remembering Gordon Wood. “Gordon Wood was a towering scholar in every way. He was the best historian of the American Revolution and of the writing of the Constitution and, in general, of the period from 1760 to 1826, of all time. No-one else in the 237 years since the Constitution went into effect even comes close.”

Well, don’t undersell Forrest McDonald.

HE’S AN EMPTY VESSEL, LIKE MOST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES:

Platner's many controversies have probably obscured the fact that most of what he says is vacuous sloganeering and gibberish. I listened to a number of his interviews and speeches; and he's never wandered in the vicinity of an original insighthttps://t.co/pFKtGzWZGu

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Britain should be kicked out of NATO until it mends its ways.

Black Dumpling gets at the heart of the matter. The United Kingdom is under the boot of full-on tyranny.

It is not simply the electoral, demographic and cultural overwhelming of the indigenous people. It is not just the two-tiered justice that has police ignoring actual crime… https://t.co/HhEzDQdneT

THANK YOU, GARBAGE PEOPLE OF THE LEFT, FOR SHOVELING DIRT ON BLACK LIVES MATTER’S GRAVE:

Austin Metcalf’s family buried their son and now they’re receiving death threats for it. The same movement that called Karmelo Anthony the victim is now threatening the family of the kid he killed. There are no words for how sick this is.

FASTER, PLEASE: The Man Leading Trump’s Nuclear Renaissance.

NEVER GO FULL NAZI: DSCC Chair Gillibrand: Oysterführer Uber Alles, or Tomorrow Belongs to Dems. “In 2017, Kirsten Gillibrand helped push Al Franken out of the Senate without even an Ethics Committee investigation. After the picture of Franken fake-groping a sleeping colleague went viral, six women came forward to claim that Franken had kissed them without consent while working on Air America and in stand-up comedy. That’s not exactly nothing, but it all took place before Franken won his Senate seat. Rather than investigate the allegations for truth and context, Gillibrand insisted that the allegations alone were disqualifying. . . . Nine years later, Democratic Socialists of America activists cast a Nazi-tatted Graham Platner to run for the seat, and Gillibrand stuck with him. She stuck with Platner last night, too.”
